Overview

The Re:co Symposium Fellowship program benefits those individuals who may be new to coffee or for a variety of reasons, including financial, have not had the opportunity to attend. We welcome all those who may be able to make a substantial contribution to the discourse at Re:co Symposium or who are recent members of the coffee community.

The ideal Re:co Fellow is a future or current leader in specialty coffee, driving the future of coffee. They might be a graduate student who is focusing on coffee research, a producer/co-op leader who has organized their community around coffee quality, a young entrepreneur who is building a company around a great idea, or a person working for an NGO who is making a special difference.

The Fellowship covers the registration fee for Re:co Symposium and includes complimentary access to the Specialty Coffee Expo.

The application period for Re:co Symposium in the United States is open between December and January, with selections announced in February. Please check back for specific dates as that time draws near.

You have so many bright minds in one concentrated room that you get to really have a dialogue, and everyone there is willing to connect. If you have something to say, this is the place to say it.

— Gustavo A. Cerna, Past Re:co Symposium Fellow
